Yesterday Mr.. Ed. F. Rowe, a married
barber OF this city, who is respectfully
connected, was arrested on the charge
OF committing criminal assault upon
Georgia BatfOrd, COlOred, aged u years,
the step-daughter OF A. &. Porter, VINO
made the complaint. 1t ia alleged that
on Thursday, as the girl WAS returning
from school, she passed ROwe's shop,
which is on the ground floor of the
MahnCke hotel, and that he entiGed her
in and there assaulted her. A negro
preacher passing by, hearing a scuflling,
went in and detected Rowe in the act :,
but Rowe claims that he is innocent and
will be able to prove it. He was placed
under $500 bond, and the examination
was set for Tuesday, the 18th inst.
Rowe claims the girl is ii years old.
Her step-father who made the charge is
Aleck Porter, a crippled bOotblsck who
formerly worked in Bowsky's shop and
could rot get along we'll with Rowe who
worked there. The negro preacher, he
says, is the girls natural father.
Thursday afternoon the girl was
In his shop to get glass of water.
She carried messages to Rowe from his
sister-in-law. She stood in the shop in
full view while he was sitting In the
chair. The front doors are Of glass, and
no one could hide behind them. Mr.
Keller was working near the back door.

Of course, that did not matter, so they
went to work and knocked the peOans
off the tree and filed the sack. Just as
they were tying 1t up. preparatory to

A DEMOCRAT can do no wrong, act
cording to the Democratic organ of this
county. Once upon time it was de-
veloped that the treasury of this county
had suffered very large loss. The
Treasurer, the Auditor, and the Commits
sioners were Democrats. A judicial
Investigation determined the loss at
upward of $4,000. The Judge of the
conrt in which the case was tried was a
Democrat, and one of his brothers was
on the bond of the delinquent Treasurer.
When the verdict was rendered the
Gazette aud its friends were thunder
struck. that such result could be reach
ed in Democratic court. Counsel for
the defauiting Treasurer made motion
for new trial, and in defiance of the
law, admitting in delivering his opinion
that he had not the power. but that it
could do no harm to give the defend+
ant another chance" the court set aside
the verdict and granted new trial.
All the arts known to desperate men
were at once resorted to in order to re-
verse the verdict. On the second trial
the verdict against the Treasurer and
his bond was reduced to 81. 400, and the
taxpayers Of the county were left to
foot the balance of the bill.
The Gazette defended that robbery,
and has Dever ceased to abuse all per-
sons who had anything to do with
attempting to protect the interests of
the county. To-day it is shown that the
late Democratic Auditor has grossly
abused the trust put in him by the peo,
pie. The showing is so plain that any
person of ordinary intelligence can see
it, yet the Gazette promptly comes to
the front aud attempts to defend and
justify it. 1t is in accordance with the
external fitness of things that it should
do so.

The Gazette informs US that Mr.. r
Il. Barrett has been reelected Auditor,
and, therefore, we infer, it is highly i'm.
proper, and useless, as it were, to discuss
his official acts.
We can not look at this matter in that
light. MIR. B. will serve the people three
years from next September in that Of
fee, and it is matter of some import
ance to taxpayers. If any mistakes OF
wrong doing are fairly chargesble to bis
past administration, that all the people
should know it, and that he should un-
derstaud that the people will have theil
eyes upon bis acts in the future. And
then. be was elected both times by Re-
publican votes, and it is only fair that
thUse Republicans who voted for him
should understand the character of
the man they were csjoied into electing
The discussions of the acts of that Of
fcer have been of great benefit to The
,ublic, in the future administration of
that office. So long as an officer can
lightly discharge the duties of his Office
-favoring his friends, as in the ap+
praisement of the bsnks-accept of
passes from railroads, whose property
he is required to sppraise for taxatio n
draw warrants upon the treasury with
out authority of law-wiDk at evasions
of the tax laws, and all that kind of
thing, without remonstrance FROM the
public, so long will honest men suffer,
and the public service and public morals
be degraded.

Down with expensesl

THERE is not one saloon in Richland
township. This is the FIRST time in its
history, perhaps, that such state of af
fairs has existed. They were driven
out of St. CIalrsville at one time, years
ago, by the enactment of what was
known as the "McConnelsville ordi-
nance" bat they existed outside the cor
poration limits. Before the adoption
of the existing prohibitory ordinance by
council, all in existence outside had been
compelled to suspend because the Dow
law tax made their business unprofita.
BILE, and now there is not one left in the
1t may be we'll enough for
political prohibitionists to make a note
of this.

THERE is in the history Of this county
no instance in which the fact has been
established that its Commissioners have
knowingly and purposely defrauded the
county or any individual of one dollar
Mistakes have been made by the present
board, and by every board the county
has ever had. but no unworthy motive
is fairly chargeable to any of our boards
They are usually made up of farmers
plain, practical men, who mean to do
right. When they have erred in judg
ment 1t has been in treating questions
of accounts and the like. or questions of
the construction of statutes, which
their training did not ft them for. and
then they we're generally misled by de-
signing or careless advisers. The re-
port of the examining committee of last
winter gives no hint. even, of corruption
upon the part of the Commissioners. In
the opinion of the committee, over
charges were made by them for per
diem and expenses. All OF the bills of
Commissioners Berry. Mehan, and Israel,
and ali but one Of Commissioner Cope.
are in the handwriting OF Deputy Au,
ditor Henderson. He is presumed to
have been familiar with ali the laws re-
lating to the duties Of the Auditor and
Commissioners, especially with the law
relating to the compensation of the
Commissioners, and more especially
with that supreme provision (section 5
of article 10) of the Constitution, No
money shall be drawn from any county
or township treasury except by authori-
ty of law Yet he makes out bills in
which are alleged unlawful claims, with
out even suggesting to the Commission
ers that any unlawful claims are being
made by them, they are approved by
the Prosecuting Attorney, whom the
law makes the legal adviser of the Com
missioners. and warrants upon the treas
ury for their payment drawn By the
Auditor. whose business it is to
know whether claim is authorized
by law before issuing his warrant, ,with>
out hint from any of these skilled men
to these plain farmers that any item in
their bills is unlawful.
Under such circumstances, if any mis-.
take has been made. who is to blame?
Yet the Gazette-whose editor has ADJ
mitted that he has been largely over
paid by Democratic Auditors for asses
sors' blanks, whose scandalous claim for
compensation as receiver of the narrow
gauge railroad surprised even those who
knew him best, has abused and villified
these Commissioners so persistently thatl
no doubt some of his readers who have
no access to other sources of informa-
tion believe they are veritable criminals
Such conduct upon the part Of news
paper is scandalous in the extreme, and
is especially outrageous treatment of
the people who depend upon 1t for news,
and who receive its editorial express
sions in good faith.

MosT Republicans OF this county think TIE
CHRONICLE is little late in commencing last
falls campaign. 1t will be remembered that
Barrett was reelected in November last, and he
is the only one they are trying to hammer
Gazette.
The CHRONICLE is showing the public
that Mr.. Barrett has abused the trust
put In him by the people, and is endeav-
oring to arouse public sentiment that
will put an end to such abuses.
II the Gazette will be patient, other
county officers and ex-officers will be at
tended to. Not only taxpayers have
suffered, but litigants have been merci-
lessly skinned, and estates of dead per-
sons and of orphan children levied upon
to contribute to the Golfers Of the cor
morants and incompetents whom the
Gazette has assisted in putting into pub
lie office. These will be attended to in
good time, In no spirit of malice or par.
ty hate, but solely In the hope that pub>
lie attention will be so aroused that an
end will be put to wrong doing by coun.
ty officers.
We have not knowingly misstated a
solitary fact, so far, and do not intend
to, nor is it necessary. The truth is
bad enough, In all conscience, and that
we intend to put before the people as
plainly we can.
